One. [ video ]

[ The video turns on and Annabeth gives a small wave at the camera; she looks pretty excited for whatever reason. ]

Hi. My name's Annabeth Chase -- and I know I'm not the first, but I'm another person that's been brought here permanently after I arrived for the celebration.

But I was reading the welcome...uh, drawing? And I wasn't really satisfied by the answers. Can anyone tell me a little bit more about this place and the gods? Where I come from, we don't really have these same gods. [ You know, being a daughter of a Greek goddess and how the Greek pantheon is a thing. ] Any help you'd like to give would be really appreciated. Or maybe just tell me where I can go to find out some more -- I looked in the library, but it's so huge. I might have missed something.

Also if I'm going to be living here, I should probably help out. What's there to do around here? Jobs and stuff? I'd offer up my services as an architect, but you usually need some capital before you can build anything...

--Oh and Seaweed Brain, you'd better message me when you see this. Thanks!

But that's still no reason to throw poop at other people!

[And that's just disgusting!]

And besides, it really smells anyway!

[Voice]

[divinewisdom]

I know! You'd really think she'd get tired of it.

[Voice]

[ourfirststeps]

But I guess being here is something as a good thing!

As least she doesn't have to throw something like that at you anymore!

[Not the best way to think about it but...]

Or I hope so, I don't think the Gods here would do anything that bad to us.

[...Define not that bad, Bianca]

I'm so glad. I don't mind helping the gods, if that's what it boils down to. I know how to fight, and I can do what they want...hopefully we can get home.

We can only guess what they'll do.

[ourfirststeps]

Well...there is a way out of here but...

[She mumbled a bit]

The problem is that we just don't know where it is and that we don't know when you're going to be going back home. You just...disappear like that without any word.

[Not a happy thing to think about but...]

[Voice]

[divinewisdom]

. . . so people just disappear here? Out of the blue?

[Voice]

[ourfirststeps]

More or less?

I mean, when you see their names on the communicator anymore, that just means they're just....gone....

[Voice]

[divinewisdom]

.....I didn't know that was even possible.

[ And now she's worried; who could go missing? Percy? Leo? One of her new, small friendships that she's looking forward to continuing? ]

[Voice]

[ourfirststeps]

[There was a mumble]

It is and I know that I lost a lot of my friends like that.

[Another pause]

But that doesn't mean that they can't come back though! So I guess that might be a good thing?
